32 week appointment and CCDHC Shower

I had my 32 week appointment this morning.  I am measuring at 33 weeks.  My doctor is a little concerned about some of my blood sugar levels, so I will go back again next week for another follow up.  If my blood sugars aren't better, then I think she is going to put me on an oral diabetic med.  I will also start having the fetal stress tests next week when I go back.  This is where they put the fetal monitor around me and watch his heartbeat over a period of time.  They do this with women who have gestational diabetes (GD) so they can make sure the baby is doing okay since there can be issues with the placenta.  I will have another ultrasound at 36 weeks to determine his size since larger babies are also more common in women who have GD. After my appointment, the GI office I work at 3 days a week gave me a baby shower.  It was so nice!  One of our pharm reps catered PF Chang's and everyone was so generous. My mom was able to make it to this shower as well.  I came home after the shower and washed all the linens, clothes, etc. that we received.  I was able to put things away in his closet/dresser/room.  I am getting really excited about his nearing arrival as I get the nursery more and more together!!

Atlanta Baby Shower and Nursery

Jason and I have been hard at work the last 2 weekends getting the nursery ready for this weekend. My grandparents and his parents came up this weekend for my first baby shower that was today at Meg's house. I am so happy with the way the nursery turned out!! Link to the pics below.

The shower was so nice and so much fun! This is the fun part...getting ready....and it is also the part that makes me realize how close we are to Watson's arrival! We received lots of great gifts that were fun putting away in his room when we got home. I didn't realize how BIG I have gotten until I saw all the pics from the shower- wowzers...and to think I am probably going to double in size before he gets here!!! Link to the pics below.

30 week appointment

 I had my 30 week appointment yesterday.  We didn't do an ultrasound this visit but Watson's heartbeat is "perfect" and I am measuring at 31 weeks.  The doctor said there is a 3 cm margin of error, so I am right on target (31 cm belly = 31 weeks).  I did the 3 hour glucose tolerance test since I failed the 1 hour screen at my 28 week visit.  I am hoping that I pass this one.  If I don't, the next step per my doctor is a referral to a dietitian...haha...how ironic.  I will not be going to see another dietitian...will continue as I am doing since there isn't too much I would need to change other than cutting back on my newfound sweet tooth and having to check my blood sugars several times a day.  I will be going in every 2 weeks from now until I am 36 weeks along.  Once 36 weeks, I go in for weekly visits.  Watson is still very active but now I can feel his entire body moving (like a wave in my belly!) vs jerky kicks and elbows.  I still feel great but am having to get up several times a night to go to the bathroom and I have noticed some swelling in my feet and hands first thing in the am and then in the evening.
We are putting the crib together and getting his closet set up this weekend among other small things that need to be done before he makes his grand entrance.  While Jason was painting the nursery last weekend, my mom and I went shopping for curtains and other nursery details.  The nursery is painted (looks really good!), curtains are hung and the chest of drawers is in there as of last weekend.  My dad drove the rocker/ottomon up yesterday from Albany and helped Jason move it into the nursery as well.  It matches perfectly!  I can't wait for us to finish everything this weekend.  Once we finish, I will post pictures!  We will still have the details to finish up and I will post pics once it is completely finished as well.
